Nicholas Sharp, who died earlier this year, was one of the great cricket collectors and many observed that his Sussex cricketana collection was the best single club collection in the world. He was rightly admired for his ability to focus his collecting so clearly - not something many of us achieve.

The majority of his collection will be sold at Knights starting in October but his family have invited me to sell some items on their behalf starting with a number of Victorian and early 20th century Sussex cricket autographs. A full list is available by contacting me at jonfilby@blueyonder.co.uk.

I expect to list a number of Nicholas's modern limited edition signed books too and if you are looking for anything in particular you might also want to contact me.
